Speed today, I was with the mile/800 group. Warmed up 1 mile, then got started. The workout was 3 sets of 2x300m at goal 800 pace, so they were supposed to be around 45 sec each. Just in case y'all didn't do the math, that's 1800m at goal 800m pace. Aka ouch. Rest was 90 sec between each rep and 4 min between each set. My splits were 46,45,47,46,47, and 51. They were all a little slow and all was well for the first 4, but on the 4th one, fatigue hit me like a bus on the last 100m. I then proceeded to throw up some previously delicious fruit snacks and I was trying to get my act together by the time the rest was over but my body decided to hurl again and so I missed the 5th one. I was a little more coherent for the last one with the group, 47. Then I did one on my own and it was a little rough, 51. I'm glad I finished though. I will never again mock an 800 workout.

One time we had the 4 800m runners running it at BYU run 12x300 the week before and they only counted if you got 47 or under. Never again lol
